Can't take the pain

I sit here in the corner....minutes passin' like days.
All I do is stay up and wait for you...
to come home to stay.
Each day seems longer than the other.
Watching the pendulum swing.
It used to be one love after another...
but now all I want is truely you.

I can't take the distance between us,
And I can't take this pain.
All I do is wait for you to return...
or call out my name.
No I can't take the distance between us,
And this pain is breaking my heart.
When will you return to me...
And stop tearing me apart?

This house is no longer my home,
but a barren shack for my lonely mind.
If only I could find a way back to you...
I must be so blind.
Nothing makes sence anymore...
not since the day you were taken away.
I lay there staring at the celling,
in my mind I'm screaming in dismay.

I can't take this distance between us,
and I can't take this pain.
All I do is wait for you return...
or call out my name.
No I can't take the distance between us,
and this pain is breaking my heart.
When will you return...
And stop tearing me apart?

Tearing me apart...
I can't take the pain...
Screaming in dismay...
The distance...(can't take the pain)
The distance...(can't take the pain)
The distance.....The pain....the distance.....The pain....

Return to me...
Come home to stay...
You're tearing apart my mind..
and my heart.
I'm screaming in dismay...
I'm screaming in pain...
I'm screaming for help...

-Solo-
I can't take the distance between us..
and I surely can't take this pain..
All I do is stay home and wait for you...
to come home to stay..
When will you return to me..?
I'm slipping away...
